A Captured Moment - Dusty Attic

Hello Friends and welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing a layout designed for Dusty Attic, using papers from 3 Quarter Designs.

To begin, i started with a photo of hubby and my two guys from a family trip in 2015. This was taken on a hike while in Panama City, Florida. The colors in the mood board are perfect for sepia and black and white photos so i edited my photo a bit to reflect that.

Using vintage photo distress ink, ground espresso distress ink and Black Archival ink, as well as vanilla acrylic i colored all my chipboard pieces . Adding some gold wax after they were dry.

I added some Graphic 45 Pearl Gems to detail the Antique Frame and the 6 inch border. And then splattered some vanilla and gold paint.

Adding in layers of paper and distressing the edges, i decided the fancy trim would look great at the bottom of all my paper layers. I originally was not going to add any flowers but the layout, in the end, was missing them, so i added those at the end paint the center stamens gold to coordinate with my colors.

Here is the mood board for June, i hope you join in and give this months color challenge a try.
